Sheet 03 · Commissions and photo series
Photography
Commissions and personal work: sport, music groups, architecture and landscape.
I take photographs in two ways. On commission, sports clubs, music groups, architecture studios and schools ask me to record their events, members, works or surroundings, and I deliver photographs and short videos. On my own, by contrast, without anyone asking, I photograph heritage, travel, landscape and village festivals. Architecture taught me how to look, and I use that same gaze in both.

Commissions
Someone asks; I tell the story.
A sports club, a youth social centre, the organisers of a village's olympics, a music band, an architecture studio and a vocational training school have come to me so far. The work has been varied: following a race from start to finish, covering an event at a youth social centre, photographing the final event of a village's traditional games, documenting a music band, following the progress of a building work, or showing a school from above. Each job shows who commissioned it, what they needed and what is on show: photographs and, when needed, videos for social media.

On my own account5 series
Personal work
With no one asking.
Between commissions I keep working on my own subjects: heritage and travel, landscape and local games. This is where I experiment and learn, and where the eye I bring to commissions comes from.
01 / 04One series
Sport
The moment that never comes twice.
A building stands still and waits for you; a runner doesn't. In sport there is a single second to take the picture, and that is exactly what I like: anticipate, position yourself and get it right. I also cover races on commission (see above); on my own account I have followed Hernani's Gazte Olinpiadak, event by event, in photographs and video.
02 / 042 series
Architecture
Stone, light and time.
Buildings are what I photograph most, and among them heritage: churches, palaces, farmhouses, the façades of old streets. Often they are the very ones I scan; with the camera, though, I don't measure, I look: how light falls on the stone, what is still standing and what is disappearing. When I travel I do the same with the architecture of other countries.
03 / 04One series
Landscape
The land, from far and from near.
I also photograph what surrounds the buildings: forests, hill tracks, rivers. Sometimes on foot, camera in hand; sometimes with the drone, from above, to see how the land is drawn. Landscape is not just a backdrop: it too was made by someone, generation after generation.
04 / 04One series
Documentary
Coming soon.
Coming soon.
How I look
Four habits, whatever the subject.
- 01
Geometry first
I organise the frame like a plan: axes, symmetries, rhythms. It comes from architecture, and I look for it in sport too.
- 02
From the ground and from the air
Camera in hand and drone in the air. Changing the viewpoint helps to understand the same thing differently.
- 03
Colour, when it is needed
When form leads, black and white; when light or atmosphere leads, colour. Each photograph asks for its own.
- 04
Wait, then get it right
With a building you wait for the light; at a race, for the moment. In both, arriving early and choosing the spot is half the work.
Services
What I can do for you.

Bands, associations and teams: promotional portraits in places that suit the group's character.

03
Architecture and builds
Buildings, heritage and installations: the process from start to finish, and the result in the best light.
04
Aerial images
By drone, from above: the shape of a route, a building or an event, which you can't see from the ground.
Examples: Fraisoro Eskola, Azeri Bila, Arkitetak, Landscape
05
Short videos
An event recap in vertical format (9:16), ready to post on Instagram and other platforms.
